Books by Sian Reynolds

By the end of the 19th century, Paris was widely acknowledged as the cultural capital of the world; Edinburgh, a city of Presbyterian ministers, academics and doctors. This book, based on research into documents and publications, explores an unexpected dimension of Scottish history, while also revealing the Scottish contribution to French history.

Sian Reynolds challenges the prevailing assumption that women had little influence or power in France during the interwar period. She combines extensive empirical research with revealing insights into France's political history and women's history.
